Tz'ikin symbolizes the day when the birds showed the place where the sacred Corn was found. This is the day of the bird of good luck. Date of communication with the heart of Heaven and the Heart of Earth, through the invocation of space, air, light, clouds, cold, and the heat force that gives us life. Representation of all that exists in space. Day devoted to Heart of Heaven, Heart of the Earth. Symbol of good luck and material stability of the individual conscience and intelligence.

MEN (TZ’IKIN) THE VISION OF THE BIRD: Signifies a bird, wealth, and all business negotiations. It is the nawal of economic well-being, good fortune. It is an auspicious day to give thanks and ask for financial well-being. It is the communication and mediation between Uk’ux Kaj and Uk’ux Ulew (Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth). Unlike those of some spiritual traditions, the Maya do not feel that material prosperity is undesirable or “non-spiritual.” Upon this day, we may thank the universe for whatever prosperity we currently enjoy while honestly expressing the intention that more prosperity may attend our lives. This day is as fortunate for love as it is for money; pay attention to relationship issues. Pay attention to dreams as well, for this is a day upon which one may experience powerful and important revelations through dreams.

The Number 2 is a symbol of duality. Much like Taoists, the Maya think in terms of cosmic polarities. This is embodied in their mythology: there are two Hero Twins, two principal Lords of the Underworld, as well as the two monkey twins who represent the day-sign Chuen. There is the eternal dichotomy of this world and the Underworld, day and night, darkness and light. These themes run like a common thread in all of Mayan myth, especially in the sacred book the Popol Vuh.

Personality traits for those born on

Tone: 2 (Duality)

Decisions

Challenge

The facilitator of change

Mysterious as the question, To be or not to be? Here is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Ying/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number's energy. Tone Two energy challenges old patterns on every level. Emphasis is on change for the better. This break-down frequency will remove what has become obsolete to make new space for what is to come. Recognize difference without judgment and smooth the road to change.

Men - West

Symbolism:

The Maya called this day Men(mane), the root word for the verb "to make" or "to do". The glyph for the day is that of a head with dots in a line behind the eyes, which has been suggested to be evidence that the sign represented the old moon deity. This goddess is drawn with a headdress and shield of eagle feathers. And eagle's claw is also her symbol. This Mayan goddess was the patroness of weaving and other female activities. In this case, however, the day-signs symbolism doesnt match the personality type very well.

Personality:

Men types are independent, ambitious, and escapist. They can be scientific, technically inclined, critical, and exacting, and they frequently have an interest, or background, in philosophy, science, or the more technical aspects of their chosen field. Men types are usually a bit ahead of their time in their thinking, and they tend to be experimental in many areas of life. They are perfectionists with exacting, critical minds that require challenges. Making plans and layouts is particularly appealing to them. Persons born under this sign are typically perfectionists capable of handling much detail. Men types are often unconventional in significant ways; they have their own set of rules in life that develop from their own unique perspective on things. They can be driven, yet they also enjoy a good escape now and then. They would probably just take off for parts unknown, but they usually have complex relationship entanglements to handle, so they dont. On a more positive level, many Men types are concerned with making the world a better place, and they only appear to be escapist to others. Those born under Men are usually popular and well-liked, which is interesting since they are the ones who tend to frequently bend the rules as understood by others. They will compete when necessary, and can be very serious about such things, but they usually try to avoid it. Competition with themselves is more their style and is perhaps the basis of their personal ambitions.

Challenge:

To create a lifestyle that offers both freedom and companionship.

Solution:

To gain a deeper knowledge of human nature. Men

1-Ix

Beneath the 1-Ix surface personality is a challenged communicator, a person who struggles with self control, a person who is an explorer of the human condition. Critical events occurring in Ix peoples lives, such as deaths or other powerful transformations, my cause them to turn inward and keep their feeling and thoughts to themselves. People born during Ix trecena need to be realistic about responsibilities and not shirk from them or take on too many.

G-1

This powerful lord rules the Center. Persons born under it tend to be direct, assertive, and even combative toward others. As a result of this intensity, they tend to experience strong, forceful events in their lives.

They are often driven by very basic or primal needs. Leadership is one of their greatest challenges; they must learn to utilize leadership skills. G-1 people can quickly move to the center of things, but once there, they are not sure that others will follow them. If they dont learn to be more sensitive to how others perceive them and develop an understanding of social norms, they will lose followers.

G-1 types want to be where the action is and their contribution of energy and enthusiasm is usually vital to the groups in which they participate. Father-related issues often play into a G-1s leadership dysfunction. Having a distant or abusive father sometimes results in inadequate training for leadership. Sometimes even a good paternal relationship can cause stress for a G-1, who then tries to reach real or perceived high standards. In either case, an understanding of the father is probably very important to a G-1's self understanding.

The dark side displayed by these people has to do with uncontrollable urges to put oneself first. G-1's general personality traits are similar to those of Mars in Western astrology.
